Second Saturday Sampler Show and Tell

Second Saturday Sampler is THE place to be for great show and tell. April was no exception.

A completed English Pathwasy Buck A Block quilt with a variation of two. Julie confessed she wanted to make it queen sized, thought she had it all planned but had to make some last minute adaptations and add some fabrics. Sound familiar?

A quilt made by . The picture shows a stunning quilt. If you can, zoom in on the picture to see how interesting the Australian aboriginal prints really are, You can make a stunning quilt with big bold prints. The outer border is cool the way she cut it. It makes a swag without having to applique it. Genius!

A happy quilt and a happy quiltmaker. Darlene made this quilt using a pattern for jelly rolls in the book, Scrap Quilt Surprises by Kim Brackett.

A very clever addition to an Eleanor Burns' Irish Chain. Look closely in the center for an embroidery clover which adds someting so individual. Great idea.

Once upon a time...

Three ladies met at Quilt Guild. They started making small quilts as wall hangings. These "little quilts" became so popular and before the girls knew it, they were selling them. The three ladies were so busy making small quilts, in 1986, they decided to sell kits so people could make thier own "little quilts." Not too long after that, they started designing thier own patterns. What started out as a "hobby" turned into a "little" business of selling kits and patterns. The three ladies wanted to be able to offer more to thier customers so in 1998, Little Quilts opened in an old corn mill in Marietta... and the rest, as they say, is history.
